Designed in conjunction with Remi Quique, with the goal of surfing hollow reef waves is where the Anakao is right at home.

The 29' width, narrowed nose and tail and optimal volume distribution allows for sharp turns in critical sections of the wave while maintaining board control.

The big design innovation is the new bottom contour and beveled rails which offer a thinner rail than a traditional stand up providing the rider a short board feel.

Carving and acceleration are amazing and vertical turns are easier to perform.

EQUIPEMENT :

Fins Set Up:
> 1 Central Fin F-one 8'
> 2 x FUTURE® F3 425 Fins

Thanks to an outline pinched at the nose and its tail, and a rounded rocker, the board does not lock itself and allows to stay into the wave face.

Its volume distribution is reduced at its nose and tail and provides an ideal balance with lower rails to be more engaging.

With its width of 30'5" it has enough gliding ability to facilitate radical take-off and remains powerful in marginal conditions.

Its rocker on the nose and the thin rails makes it effective and surprising in the passage of white water.

Designed for acceleration and maneuvers in smaller surf, these high performance boards developed with Remi Quique, offer the closest sensation of a true short board.

All the volume distribution has been optimized to achieve stability and efficiency within the minimum amount of length and width possible.

The new beveled rail shape is a significant innovation which allows the finesse and control of a surfboard in a Stand Up Paddle board.

These are high performance wave boards for high performance wave riders.

Kite F.one VOLT 2 Freeride 5M 2012

Programm:

Each year, the Volt benefits from the evolution of its big brother, the Bandit.

This year’s VOLT 2 improves once more while remaining intuitive and accessible to all.
The VOLT 2 gives you confidence during your first session, with a progressive traction as well as great control of it’s power due to
its depower capabilities.

A good rider will be surprised at the ease with which it can aid new tricks.
Stable, the Volt is versatile in all wind conditions and especially in strong winds due to an improved high end.
The steering is intuitive enabling you to feel the position of the kite at all times so you can just focus on the riding. Responsive and
maneuverable, the VOLT 2 is tolerant and forgiving.
The Delta C Shape, a F-ONE patent, is known to facilitate the relaunch and we focus our attention on its continuous improvement.
The refined leading edge diameter at the tips of the kite enhances its turning ability.
It’s now easier to sheet-in the kite tip when the kite is on its back which translates into a better aerodynamic support.

Auto relaunch:

The auto relaunch is the most recognized evolution in recent years.

The Delta erases the difficulties of past designs during the relaunch phase.

The kite automatically tilts by itself on one tip and glides gently to the window edge, where it safely sits there without any power. You only have to guide its relaunch when you are ready to do so.

No complicated maneuver is necessary; this is what the auto relaunch is all about.

Safety:

The one and only true safety is to be able to completely kill the power of the kite at any time, in any position.

Thanks to the EVO bridle The VOLT 2 can easily be neutralized when you trigger the safety system as it lands on his back without power.

Simplicity:

The VOLT 2 is based on the Delta C Shape, an F-ONE patented design. It is a 4 line kite equipped with an EVO bridle. It is simple and quick to setup on the beach.

Quality:

The VOLT 2 has all the technical developments of the Bandit 5 and is using the same materials.

> One Pump Collar Valve:

- Easier to remove and put back.
- Practical during bladder replacement.

> Kite tuning:

2 different positions for back lines.

- Front: more bar pressure, slower turning kite.
- Back: lighter bar pressure, faster turning kite.

> Kevlar reinforcement on leading edge:

Most seams on the leading edge are now reinforced with Kevlar to prevent the seams to deteriorate on aggressive ground friction.

> Skin reinforcement:

Each skin sewing is reenforced on its front by a self-adhesive Dacron.

> Safety System:

The general safety system has been kept the same: UPS with Velcro quick release.
The big advantage is its sand-proof nature. This year, the chicken loop is equipped with a new injected «finger», stiffer, easier to rotate and adjustable in length.

> Profile leading edge end tips:

The leading edge tips are profiled and have a reduced diameter to avoid any bridles tangling and drag effect.

> Profile batten end tip:

A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.

> Vertical cut batten:

The VOLT 2 struts are designed with a vertical cut in order to optimize the strength/diameter ratio.

> F-ONE pulley:

- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.

With the Bandit IV F-One presents a brand new shape, we’ve modified it’s span, it’s wing-tips, it’s profile, the number of struts and the leading edge diameter. All this in order to get a kite that excels in all conditions and in all disciplines.

The Bandit IV has an increased C Shape but still features the same Delta as the Bandit III - an original design feature from F.one

The Bandit IV is hugely stable, has masses of depower and still features the auto- relaunch system. 3 struts enable you to have a lighter kite which is smoother and more dynamic. The square tips offer options for the positioning of the rear lines to tune the turning characteristics - the aerodynamic shape gives increased support whilst it turns.

The large sizes of the Bandit IV are oriented towards power in lighter winds and smaller sizes towards control for when the wind’s up. The profile and structure of the Bandit IV offer increased stability for better control and depower at the high end. In lighter winds the kite is more efficient and a joy to handle due to it’s reduced weight, reactivity and instantaneous power. The bar feeling is direct but light, it doesn’t overload the arms.

When riding unhooked, the Bandit IV won’t overpower and stays really light. The bar feeling has never been so precise and direct - while kitelooping the speed of the kite is faster and offers a small boost or lifting effect when returning to the zenith making landings buttery smooth!

We have overcome an extremely difficult challenge - the Bandit IV excels in each and every discipline. Our constant testing and R&D have resulted in a kite with a feeling and qualities that have never been matched before.

It suits every style of riding from wake to surf and requires no time to adapt to…

F-One Bandit 4 Features:

Increased wind window for a constant forward pull
Legendary low end Bandit wind range
New oustanding high end control
Excellent stability over the entire range
Shorter bar clearance for full power / depower
Smooth bar traction while unhooked
Increased Upwind and Speed Performance
Maximum Depower with a shorter depower rope
Lighter bar feeling and direct confident feeling
Better control of the profile and shape in high wind range for impressed performance and control

F-One Bandit Control Bar and Lines:

Functional pulley free control bar, using multiple safety attachments, on the fly stopper ball, for easy bar adjustments and safe “push away” depower.

F-One have spend a lot of time making sure the entire set can be personalized: The chicken loop release is mounted on the UPS and can be place on either the left or the right side.

Featured include:

-Complete 2011 bar
-Kite leash

-Bag

The 'Boa' ratchet system uses clever gearing attached to supportive cables throughout the back and sides of the harness which are controlled by turning the knob to the rear. Push in and turn clockwise to tighten, pull out and it loosens off once again. The system can completely change the harness from a fully flexible freeride to a tight fitting highly support wakestyle machine or anything in between! The beauty of the Boa system is the ease of use even whilst on the water.

The Mystic Code is built on a similar outline and construction to the Mystic Warrior III offering unrivalled support and comfort.

With thermo molded interior and exterior foam offers a lighter and stronger approach without ever compromising durability.
 

Additional features:

-System Down System: Locks the spreaderbar down, giving you more control when performing your manoeuvres while also protecting your chest in any uncomfortable wipe outs.

-3D Anatomical Back Support: BOA System

-Flex Edge: For the most comfortable and body hugging edge

-Handle pass leash attachment: offering a free moving smooth attachment point at the rear of the harness, keeping your leash out of the way whilst freestyling.

-Battle Belt Waist Closure -Secured on the frame inside the harness, the stretchy velcro belt ensures a continuous snug fit can be maintained irrespective of the altering dynamics of the body. The velcro is positioned to avoid damage to wetsuits, lycra or skin.

-Kite Spreaderbar with protector cover - reduces pressure on the chest and stomach and helps prevent injury.

-3D Thermo Moulded Foam Interior and Exterior: By using the process of thermo moulding Mystic are able to add characteristics we needed for comfort and looks.

-Safety Knife: Cuts flying lines in an emergency.

-Quick release Clickerbar: 100% Safe and Easy to Use

Similar to the 12'6", this board excels over open ocean, long distances and downwinders but also on flat water.

Developed with Ludo Dulou, the Race 14" has been designed to perform in all areas, from top competitors to more recreational riders looking for something different than traditional paddling.

With an exquisite outline, light weight and clean drawn out curves, the Race 14" offers exceptional glide for a board in this class.

We took the best of what we learned from the 12'6" and improved on it for the 14" Race.

The volume distribution is perfectly balanced to transfer every drop of paddle stroke energy into forward movement without sacrificing stability.

The bamboo carbon construction, offers a significant weight advantage over traditional race boards that have great impact on long distance paddling endeavors.

The all carbon rails help to manage overall board flex allowing the paddler to be more efficient in both flat and open water.

This is an ideal board for racing on flat water, open ocean, calm or choppy texture and will ride swells with ease.

Unleash the Race 14" and leave the pack behind you!

Thanks to an outline pinched at the nose and its tail, and a rounded rocker, the board does not lock itself and allows to stay into the wave face.

Its volume distribution is reduced at its nose and tail and provides an ideal balance with lower rails to be more engaging.

With its width of 29'5" it has enough gliding ability to facilitate radical take-off and remains powerful in marginal conditions.

Its rocker on the nose and the thin rails makes it effective and surprising in the passage of white water.

A great all around board, the Menawa 10'6 offers stability and accessibility to any rider.

Its wider outline and ample volume allows for a larger area of stability near the center of the board which creates a platform that's easy to balance on.

With a length of 10,6", it offers good speed and glide for riding flat water.

Very predictable and surprisingly good in the surf, it remains manageable and turns effortlessly when your stance moves towards the back of the board.

The Menawa excels when the conditions are choppy and difficult.

With a volume of 196 liters, you can learn quickly and continue to progress while having fun.

An excellent board for bigger riders looking for more float.

The 10,6" is ideal for the whole family and you may need more than just one to keep everyone happy !

Ideal for learning all the basics of strapless riding.

Designed for the kite world, it has proven to be also an excellent board for pure paddle surfing.

Cruising or on soft waves, its length of 7'0" with a long submerged rail means the Malibu is a natural up-winder.

Its pin-tail with thruster fins setup allows tight turns without the need to move back and forth on the board.

Sizes:

7'0" 214 x 52 cm

For a wave trip, if you must take only one board, it is one of these two boards that will accompany you.

The 6'2": Mitu choice since its addition in the range, and he will use it again in 2012!.

Its volume oriented to surf allows the use of a smaller kite size and doing the most daring transitions and hits at low speed.

In 2012, the 6'2 underwent its first refinement, with a slight modification of its rocker, the addition of a V-Shaped bottom and a slightly wider outline at the nose.

Objectives: gain in stability during turns and improved transition from rail to rail and finally, a significant gain in liveliness in all conditions, whether in pure surf, strapless kite or not.

The 6'4": Already had a slight update in 2011 and for 2012 remains unchanged.

It's more accessible for paddle surfing during take-off. Its width gave it the advantage in light air and its natural upwind ability means you will be the first to reach the peak, and often alone...

By giving up some surf principles for creating kite specifics, they are no longer surfboards tweaked for kite use, but real surfboards developed specifically for having a kite in your hands, whatever the conditions.

Because a kitesurfer does not need a lot of volume to take off - as opposed to a paddle surfer - the volume distribution was optimized through a unique new shape: an inverted concave deck.

It allows to both lower the center of gravity and to increase the control by reducing the thickness of the board under the front leg, without affecting the profiles of the rails.

The result is a significant gain of control in your turns.

The inverted concave deck allows the use of pads twice as thick under your front legs to further enhance comfort.

What's new in terms of shape does not stop at the deck: the new double concave V-shaped bottom and ultra progressive rocker allows for improved edging, acceleration, turning radius and radical angles; all this with more control and ease of use.

Comfort is also enhanced by the choice of a double concave with V providing a smooth ride through the chop and faster transition from rail to rail.

Equipped with a quad fin setup, the gain in maneuverability allows committed surfing whatever the conditions.

Small or large, the waves do not define your commitment; but the ways you enter in your turns are now open to you.

With the quad design, you will adapt the turning radius to your style, whether tight, fast, drawn out or slashed turns.

Versatile these are the real kite surfboards.

2 sizes for 2 programs slightly different: The 5'10: for faster, powerful waves and/or in strong winds. The 6'0: in conditions less radical, or to gain stability in large surf.

Its perfect rocker gives our Fish boards their incredible early planning ability and their maneuverability which remains unchanged. We worked on the outline with very slight modifications.

Our goal was to facilitate entry into fast carves with an ever faster exit.

A wider nose gave us that result. Easier during your turns, our FISH also gained in stability with a more natural drive, less technical.

Available in two sizes, these two Fish offer the same program; oriented toward light wind and small waves.

We recommend the 5'4 below 80kg, the 5'6 above.

To be successful in all areas is a real challenge from an R&D perspective; this process is proving to be much more complex than developing several highly specialized kites. The most difficult challenge faced with the Bandit 5 was to improve from the Bandit 4 in all areas without losing any of its qualities - an extremely tough call that is ongoing.

The specificationa that we set for the Fone Bandit 5 in three words

> Range
To further increase its range, we needed both a kite that you could easily power up in the low end and a kite that was even more forgiving in strong and gusty conditions.

> Lightness
In order to improve its performance when under powered, and add to the ease of use at the bottom end its lightness was a priority.

> Handling
To immediately position the kite where you want it, to precisely manage its rotation during a kiteloop, and to have the most responsive kite in larger sizes, its maneuverability is crucial.

This is why we have focused our attention on this particular aspect.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

The whole structure of the kite, its profile and its bridles have been reworked in order to achieve these goals.

Its construction has also been fundamentally updated both in the choice and the distribution of materials and in the manufacturing processes.

Because the structure of a kite is soft, it can deform and twist allowing the kite to rotate. A fully rigid profile wing will not turn at all.

Therefore, maneuverability and responsiveness of the kite depends directly on its ability to twist, one important point that we have greatly improved on thanks to a thinner leading edge, a new 3-point bridle system and a new shape for the struts.

All this to free the kites profile.

Reducing the diameter of the leading edge, with almost 25% less air volume, brings an important gain in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

The result is better performance in the low end, but in the also at the top end thanks to an improved handling thinner profile.

We have also gained in terms of set up comfort as the inflation time has been reduced.

A new type of flatter profile was employed. By reducing the profile curve depth it is easier to depower and keep control at the top end. In the low end, a flatter profile is more efficient when powered-up and fully sheeted in providing constant power.

The result is a better control of the kite aerodynamics, less lateral traction and less pressure and therefore effort through your legs and into the board when the wind picks up.

Finally, some important work was undertaken on the bar feeling and pressure.

The feedback from the bar provides you with constant information and lets you know what’s going on allowing you to adjust the position, the pull and the speed of your kite in the wind window at any given time…

These sensations must be precisely delivered so you can receive them all without the steering becoming a physical burden.

The B5 puts more effort through the harness and less through your arms. The direct bar feeling allows for the transmission of all necessary information.

Each year, we test more than sixty prototypes in order to meet all our chosen criteria and we spend more than 120 days on the water to develop each new collection.

With the B5 we have largely achieved all our initial objectives over the B4.

Lighter, more maneuverable and responsive ; the B5 is even smoother and ultimately more enjoyable and more effective regardless of the type of riding you do.

FREERIDERS:
In all conditions you can enjoy all the benefits of the Delta and its natural relaunch ability, you will particularly appreciate its immediately available power and its comfort and control. The versatility of the kite is unique and allows everyone to excel in all disciplines. All our pro team riders, from the snow to wave riding, to the hard core PKRA and speed guys, everybody strictly uses production Bandit. Also used by some schools, the Bandit can follow your progression from your first day all the way to the pinnacle of your performance.

WAVERIDERS:
In onshore conditions, light weight, maneuverability and depower capabilities are the B5’s main assets. We gave particular attention to maintain the maneuverability even when depowered, which is so important in onshore surf conditions. Its power in the low end allows the use of a smaller kite. In offshore winds, control, finesse and ability to depower reduces the pressure on the board, allowing for a looser feeling with the board much lighter under your feet. With the B5 your board rides freer and is more reactive. Strapless, the progressive control of the power makes it easier to maintain your balance or to quickly reduce its traction, which is so important during the surfing phase. The new B5 ensures all transitions and airs are smoothly controlled.

FREESTYLERS:
You will particularly appreciate its intuitive steering, better handling and lightness. During a jump, the timing is easy to find, with fine and constant control, it goes up to the zenith quickly and with all its aerodynamic performance its lift is also greatly improved. You always know where the kite is making it easy to make corrections.

FREESTYLERS NEW SCHOOL:
You will precisely position the kite at the height that suits each of your moves. Unhooked, its lightness and fine control reduces the sideways drag allowing better control of the trajectory during the jump and delivering smooth power and constant pull throughout. Our goal was to achieve the perfect balance between the qualities of the C-Shapes and those of modern wings. The results exceeded our expectations. In the hands of our best freestylers, with the kite low we were amazed by the tweaked moves they were pulling, both in terms of commitment, amplitude and height.
Thanks to these qualities, you can commit to a kiteloop earlier than before on the way up. The Kiteloop is one of the areas where the improvement was the most impressive. The qualities of the profile, its handling and responsiveness allow a great gain in control, and being able to quickly get the kite to the zenith allows for smooth reception regardless of the commitment. Finally, for all the old school moves, the gain in lift will give you some valuable time to complete all your moves.

FEATURES:

> One Pump Collar Valve:

- Easier to remove and put back.
- Practical during bladder replacement.

> Kite tuning:

2 different positions for back lines.

- Front: more bar pressure, slower turning kite.
- Back: lighter bar pressure, faster turning kite.

> Kevlar reinforcement on leading edge:

Most seams on the leading edge are now reinforced with Kevlar to prevent the seams to deteriorate on aggressive ground friction.

> Skin reinforcement:

Each skin sewing is reenforced on its front by a self-adhesive Dacron.

> Safety System:

The general safety system has been kept the same: UPS with Velcro quick release.
The big advantage is its sand-proof nature. This year, the chicken loop is equipped with a new injected «finger», stiffer, easier to rotate and adjustable in length.

> Profile leading edge end tips:

The leading edge tips are profiled and have a reduced diameter to avoid any bridles tangling and drag effect.

> Profile batten end tip:

A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.

> F-ONE pulley:

- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.

Its construction has also been fundamentally updated both in the choice and the distribution of materials and in the manufacturing processes.

Because the structure of a kite is soft, it can deform and twist allowing the kite to rotate. A fully rigid profile wing will not turn at all.

Therefore, maneuverability and responsiveness of the kite depends directly on its ability to twist, one important point that we have greatly improved on thanks to a thinner leading edge, a new 3-point bridle system and a new shape for the struts.

All this to free the kites profile.

Reducing the diameter of the leading edge, with almost 25% less air volume, brings an important gain in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

The result is better performance in the low end, but in the also at the top end thanks to an improved handling thinner profile.

We have also gained in terms of set up comfort as the inflation time has been reduced.

A new type of flatter profile was employed. By reducing the profile curve depth it is easier to depower and keep control at the top end. In the low end, a flatter profile is more efficient when powered-up and fully sheeted in providing constant power.

The result is a better control of the kite aerodynamics, less lateral traction and less pressure and therefore effort through your legs and into the board when the wind picks up.

Finally, some important work was undertaken on the bar feeling and pressure.

The feedback from the bar provides you with constant information and lets you know what’s going on allowing you to adjust the position, the pull and the speed of your kite in the wind window at any given time…

These sensations must be precisely delivered so you can receive them all without the steering becoming a physical burden.

The B5 puts more effort through the harness and less through your arms. The direct bar feeling allows for the transmission of all necessary information.

Each year, we test more than sixty prototypes in order to meet all our chosen criteria and we spend more than 120 days on the water to develop each new collection.

With the B5 we have largely achieved all our initial objectives over the B4.

Lighter, more maneuverable and responsive ; the B5 is even smoother and ultimately more enjoyable and more effective regardless of the type of riding you do.

FREERIDERS:
In all conditions you can enjoy all the benefits of the Delta and its natural relaunch ability, you will particularly appreciate its immediately available power and its comfort and control. The versatility of the kite is unique and allows everyone to excel in all disciplines. All our pro team riders, from the snow to wave riding, to the hard core PKRA and speed guys, everybody strictly uses production Bandit. Also used by some schools, the Bandit can follow your progression from your first day all the way to the pinnacle of your performance.

WAVERIDERS:
In onshore conditions, light weight, maneuverability and depower capabilities are the B5’s main assets. We gave particular attention to maintain the maneuverability even when depowered, which is so important in onshore surf conditions. Its power in the low end allows the use of a smaller kite. In offshore winds, control, finesse and ability to depower reduces the pressure on the board, allowing for a looser feeling with the board much lighter under your feet. With the B5 your board rides freer and is more reactive. Strapless, the progressive control of the power makes it easier to maintain your balance or to quickly reduce its traction, which is so important during the surfing phase. The new B5 ensures all transitions and airs are smoothly controlled.

FREESTYLERS:
You will particularly appreciate its intuitive steering, better handling and lightness. During a jump, the timing is easy to find, with fine and constant control, it goes up to the zenith quickly and with all its aerodynamic performance its lift is also greatly improved. You always know where the kite is making it easy to make corrections.

FREESTYLERS NEW SCHOOL:
You will precisely position the kite at the height that suits each of your moves. Unhooked, its lightness and fine control reduces the sideways drag allowing better control of the trajectory during the jump and delivering smooth power and constant pull throughout. Our goal was to achieve the perfect balance between the qualities of the C-Shapes and those of modern wings. The results exceeded our expectations. In the hands of our best freestylers, with the kite low we were amazed by the tweaked moves they were pulling, both in terms of commitment, amplitude and height.
Thanks to these qualities, you can commit to a kiteloop earlier than before on the way up. The Kiteloop is one of the areas where the improvement was the most impressive. The qualities of the profile, its handling and responsiveness allow a great gain in control, and being able to quickly get the kite to the zenith allows for smooth reception regardless of the commitment. Finally, for all the old school moves, the gain in lift will give you some valuable time to complete all your moves.

FEATURES:

> One Pump Collar Valve:

- Easier to remove and put back.
- Practical during bladder replacement.

> Kite tuning:

2 different positions for back lines.

- Front: more bar pressure, slower turning kite.
- Back: lighter bar pressure, faster turning kite.

> Kevlar reinforcement on leading edge:

Most seams on the leading edge are now reinforced with Kevlar to prevent the seams to deteriorate on aggressive ground friction.

> Skin reinforcement:

Each skin sewing is reenforced on its front by a self-adhesive Dacron.

> Safety System:

The general safety system has been kept the same: UPS with Velcro quick release.
The big advantage is its sand-proof nature. This year, the chicken loop is equipped with a new injected «finger», stiffer, easier to rotate and adjustable in length.

> Profile leading edge end tips:

The leading edge tips are profiled and have a reduced diameter to avoid any bridles tangling and drag effect.

> Profile batten end tip:

A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.

> F-ONE pulley:

- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.

To be successful in all areas is a real challenge from an R&D perspective; this process is proving to be much more complex than developing several highly specialized kites. The most difficult challenge faced with the Bandit 5 was to improve from the Bandit 4 in all areas without losing any of its qualities - an extremely tough call that is ongoing.

The specificationa that we set for the Fone Bandit 5 in three words

> Range
To further increase its range, we needed both a kite that you could easily power up in the low end and a kite that was even more forgiving in strong and gusty conditions.

> Lightness
In order to improve its performance when under powered, and add to the ease of use at the bottom end its lightness was a priority.

> Handling
To immediately position the kite where you want it, to precisely manage its rotation during a kiteloop, and to have the most responsive kite in larger sizes, its maneuverability is crucial.

This is why we have focused our attention on this particular aspect.

To be successful in all areas is a real challenge from an R&D perspective; this process is proving to be much more complex than developing several highly specialized kites. The most difficult challenge faced with the Bandit 5 was to improve from the Bandit 4 in all areas without losing any of its qualities - an extremely tough call that is ongoing.

The specificationa that we set for the Fone Bandit 5 in three words

> Range
To further increase its range, we needed both a kite that you could easily power up in the low end and a kite that was even more forgiving in strong and gusty conditions.

> Lightness
In order to improve its performance when under powered, and add to the ease of use at the bottom end its lightness was a priority.

> Handling
To immediately position the kite where you want it, to precisely manage its rotation during a kiteloop, and to have the most responsive kite in larger sizes, its maneuverability is crucial.

This is why we have focused our attention on this particular aspect.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

The whole structure of the kite, its profile and its bridles have been reworked in order to achieve these goals.

Its construction has also been fundamentally updated both in the choice and the distribution of materials and in the manufacturing processes.

Because the structure of a kite is soft, it can deform and twist allowing the kite to rotate. A fully rigid profile wing will not turn at all.

Therefore, maneuverability and responsiveness of the kite depends directly on its ability to twist, one important point that we have greatly improved on thanks to a thinner leading edge, a new 3-point bridle system and a new shape for the struts.

All this to free the kites profile.

Reducing the diameter of the leading edge, with almost 25% less air volume, brings an important gain in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

The result is better performance in the low end, but in the also at the top end thanks to an improved handling thinner profile.

We have also gained in terms of set up comfort as the inflation time has been reduced.

A new type of flatter profile was employed. By reducing the profile curve depth it is easier to depower and keep control at the top end. In the low end, a flatter profile is more efficient when powered-up and fully sheeted in providing constant power.

The result is a better control of the kite aerodynamics, less lateral traction and less pressure and therefore effort through your legs and into the board when the wind picks up.

Finally, some important work was undertaken on the bar feeling and pressure.

The feedback from the bar provides you with constant information and lets you know what’s going on allowing you to adjust the position, the pull and the speed of your kite in the wind window at any given time…

These sensations must be precisely delivered so you can receive them all without the steering becoming a physical burden.

The B5 puts more effort through the harness and less through your arms. The direct bar feeling allows for the transmission of all necessary information.

Each year, we test more than sixty prototypes in order to meet all our chosen criteria and we spend more than 120 days on the water to develop each new collection.

With the B5 we have largely achieved all our initial objectives over the B4.

Lighter, more maneuverable and responsive ; the B5 is even smoother and ultimately more enjoyable and more effective regardless of the type of riding you do.

FREERIDERS:
In all conditions you can enjoy all the benefits of the Delta and its natural relaunch ability, you will particularly appreciate its immediately available power and its comfort and control. The versatility of the kite is unique and allows everyone to excel in all disciplines. All our pro team riders, from the snow to wave riding, to the hard core PKRA and speed guys, everybody strictly uses production Bandit. Also used by some schools, the Bandit can follow your progression from your first day all the way to the pinnacle of your performance.

WAVERIDERS:
In onshore conditions, light weight, maneuverability and depower capabilities are the B5’s main assets. We gave particular attention to maintain the maneuverability even when depowered, which is so important in onshore surf conditions. Its power in the low end allows the use of a smaller kite. In offshore winds, control, finesse and ability to depower reduces the pressure on the board, allowing for a looser feeling with the board much lighter under your feet. With the B5 your board rides freer and is more reactive. Strapless, the progressive control of the power makes it easier to maintain your balance or to quickly reduce its traction, which is so important during the surfing phase. The new B5 ensures all transitions and airs are smoothly controlled.

FREESTYLERS:
You will particularly appreciate its intuitive steering, better handling and lightness. During a jump, the timing is easy to find, with fine and constant control, it goes up to the zenith quickly and with all its aerodynamic performance its lift is also greatly improved. You always know where the kite is making it easy to make corrections.

FREESTYLERS NEW SCHOOL:
You will precisely position the kite at the height that suits each of your moves. Unhooked, its lightness and fine control reduces the sideways drag allowing better control of the trajectory during the jump and delivering smooth power and constant pull throughout. Our goal was to achieve the perfect balance between the qualities of the C-Shapes and those of modern wings. The results exceeded our expectations. In the hands of our best freestylers, with the kite low we were amazed by the tweaked moves they were pulling, both in terms of commitment, amplitude and height.
Thanks to these qualities, you can commit to a kiteloop earlier than before on the way up. The Kiteloop is one of the areas where the improvement was the most impressive. The qualities of the profile, its handling and responsiveness allow a great gain in control, and being able to quickly get the kite to the zenith allows for smooth reception regardless of the commitment. Finally, for all the old school moves, the gain in lift will give you some valuable time to complete all your moves.

FEATURES:

> One Pump Collar Valve:

- Easier to remove and put back.
- Practical during bladder replacement.

> Kite tuning:

2 different positions for back lines.

- Front: more bar pressure, slower turning kite.
- Back: lighter bar pressure, faster turning kite.

> Kevlar reinforcement on leading edge:

Most seams on the leading edge are now reinforced with Kevlar to prevent the seams to deteriorate on aggressive ground friction.

> Skin reinforcement:

Each skin sewing is reenforced on its front by a self-adhesive Dacron.

> Safety System:

The general safety system has been kept the same: UPS with Velcro quick release.
The big advantage is its sand-proof nature. This year, the chicken loop is equipped with a new injected «finger», stiffer, easier to rotate and adjustable in length.

> Profile leading edge end tips:

The leading edge tips are profiled and have a reduced diameter to avoid any bridles tangling and drag effect.

> Profile batten end tip:

A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.

> F-ONE pulley:

- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.

A new batten closing system enables to reduce its diameter in order to decrease the drag. A small batten ensures the closing
and holding in position.

> F-ONE pulley:

- Pulley structure is extremely resistant.
- Bridle is integrated in the lower part of the pulley, working in its axle and not sideways.
- Pulleys can be removed independently from the bridle, you can change the bridle and keep the pulley or vice versa.

To be successful in all areas is a real challenge from an R&D perspective; this process is proving to be much more complex than developing several highly specialized kites. The most difficult challenge faced with the Bandit 5 was to improve from the Bandit 4 in all areas without losing any of its qualities - an extremely tough call that is ongoing.

The specificationa that we set for the Fone Bandit 5 in three words

> Range
To further increase its range, we needed both a kite that you could easily power up in the low end and a kite that was even more forgiving in strong and gusty conditions.

> Lightness
In order to improve its performance when under powered, and add to the ease of use at the bottom end its lightness was a priority.

> Handling
To immediately position the kite where you want it, to precisely manage its rotation during a kiteloop, and to have the most responsive kite in larger sizes, its maneuverability is crucial.

This is why we have focused our attention on this particular aspect.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

The whole structure of the kite, its profile and its bridles have been reworked in order to achieve these goals.

Its construction has also been fundamentally updated both in the choice and the distribution of materials and in the manufacturing processes.

Because the structure of a kite is soft, it can deform and twist allowing the kite to rotate. A fully rigid profile wing will not turn at all.

Therefore, maneuverability and responsiveness of the kite depends directly on its ability to twist, one important point that we have greatly improved on thanks to a thinner leading edge, a new 3-point bridle system and a new shape for the struts.

All this to free the kites profile.

Reducing the diameter of the leading edge, with almost 25% less air volume, brings an important gain in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

The result is better performance in the low end, but in the also at the top end thanks to an improved handling thinner profile.

We have also gained in terms of set up comfort as the inflation time has been reduced.

A new type of flatter profile was employed. By reducing the profile curve depth it is easier to depower and keep control at the top end. In the low end, a flatter profile is more efficient when powered-up and fully sheeted in providing constant power.

The result is a better control of the kite aerodynamics, less lateral traction and less pressure and therefore effort through your legs and into the board when the wind picks up.

Finally, some important work was undertaken on the bar feeling and pressure.

The feedback from the bar provides you with constant information and lets you know what’s going on allowing you to adjust the position, the pull and the speed of your kite in the wind window at any given time…

These sensations must be precisely delivered so you can receive them all without the steering becoming a physical burden.

The B5 puts more effort through the harness and less through your arms. The direct bar feeling allows for the transmission of all necessary information.

Each year, we test more than sixty prototypes in order to meet all our chosen criteria and we spend more than 120 days on the water to develop each new collection.

With the B5 we have largely achieved all our initial objectives over the B4.

Lighter, more maneuverable and responsive ; the B5 is even smoother and ultimately more enjoyable and more effective regardless of the type of riding you do.

FREERIDERS:
In all conditions you can enjoy all the benefits of the Delta and its natural relaunch ability, you will particularly appreciate its immediately available power and its comfort and control. The versatility of the kite is unique and allows everyone to excel in all disciplines. All our pro team riders, from the snow to wave riding, to the hard core PKRA and speed guys, everybody strictly uses production Bandit. Also used by some schools, the Bandit can follow your progression from your first day all the way to the pinnacle of your performance.

WAVERIDERS:
In onshore conditions, light weight, maneuverability and depower capabilities are the B5’s main assets. We gave particular attention to maintain the maneuverability even when depowered, which is so important in onshore surf conditions. Its power in the low end allows the use of a smaller kite. In offshore winds, control, finesse and ability to depower reduces the pressure on the board, allowing for a looser feeling with the board much lighter under your feet. With the B5 your board rides freer and is more reactive. Strapless, the progressive control of the power makes it easier to maintain your balance or to quickly reduce its traction, which is so important during the surfing phase. The new B5 ensures all transitions and airs are smoothly controlled.

FREESTYLERS:
You will particularly appreciate its intuitive steering, better handling and lightness. During a jump, the timing is easy to find, with fine and constant control, it goes up to the zenith quickly and with all its aerodynamic performance its lift is also greatly improved. You always know where the kite is making it easy to make corrections.

FREESTYLERS NEW SCHOOL:
You will precisely position the kite at the height that suits each of your moves. Unhooked, its lightness and fine control reduces the sideways drag allowing better control of the trajectory during the jump and delivering smooth power and constant pull throughout. Our goal was to achieve the perfect balance between the qualities of the C-Shapes and those of modern wings. The results exceeded our expectations. In the hands of our best freestylers, with the kite low we were amazed by the tweaked moves they were pulling, both in terms of commitment, amplitude and height.
Thanks to these qualities, you can commit to a kiteloop earlier than before on the way up. The Kiteloop is one of the areas where the improvement was the most impressive. The qualities of the profile, its handling and responsiveness allow a great gain in control, and being able to quickly get the kite to the zenith allows for smooth reception regardless of the commitment. Finally, for all the old school moves, the gain in lift will give you some valuable time to complete all your moves.

The core is the soul of the board; it is the key to the DIRECT DRIVE technology. Impossible to manufacture boards this thin 11mm in the center and only 3mm at the tips, without the help of wood core.

The flex, the dynamic response and the chocks and vibrations absorption provided by the wood core are unique and unequalled.

Dynamic Flex:
The board works for you and with you. You don't suffer from the uneven surface of the water. The results: less effort on your legs, better aim control and better sensations.

ABS Inverted Rail:
The most outstanding improvement in the DIRECT DRIVE technology; is the flex. The board is no longer passive. It works for you and with you.

You no longer suffer from the uneven surface of the water. The results: less effort on your legs, better aim control and better sensations.

The F-One Acid 5 2012 is for new school freestylers. Short and wide up to the tips, with extreme pop for better jumps and landings. Its double concave will suppress any leg splash and absorb vibrations during high impact landings. The F-One Acid 5 (V) allows sharp edging, great release and insane pop. Light, sharp and responsive under your feet, this board will get you launching huge tricks.

Short and wide all the way to the tips, the F-One Acid 5 (V) produces the best pop, greatly helped by the Dynamic Flex that gives right back the energy loaded during the take off. Well balanced on its rocker line and bottom shape, the Acid 5 (V) is designed to facilitate landing and give your body a lesser impact.

The Direct Drive technology with full wood core, with its legendary resistance makes sure you can rely on your board at all times.

New school freestyle is the discipline where attention to the pads is essential. Low kite tricks will put a lot more energy on the landing and our 3D molded Platinium Pads offer incredible comfort and energy diffusion.

The under heel area is made out of two foam density, the top part being softer to absorb the little shocks and the bottom part harder to soak up the big ones!

Who is the board designed for:
Whether you are just starting to get into freestyle tricks or just after an all-rounder peformer for speed, wave riding, jumping and freeriding - this board can do it all!

Riding Style: New School

Skill Level: Beginner / Expert

Features / Technology:

Simple Concave:

Glide, comfort and carving are major aspects of your boards handling. The edge to edge single concave improves all 3 points.

To glide and accelerate you use the centre part of your board where the new concave is 4mm deep. This effectively flattens the rocker of the centerline for more efficiency. And when carving or on edge the concave increases the bite of the rails for more effective edging. You also gain in comfort with the concave cushioning any rough water to give a smoother feeling under your feet.

Combining a concave in the bottom part and a channel straightening the middle, the F-One Acid 5 (IV) gets instant planing, with huge upwind potential. The concave absorbs the chops and improves the grip. The tip channel enhances the water flow exit, and relieves pressure on the back foot, bringing an incomparable comfort.

Direct Drive:
Direct Drive refers to a board with minimum thickness, with 100% wood core and 100% fiberglass envelop. These elements are interrelated and create a coherent set answering the requirement of a high performances kiteboard.

Designed in conjunction with Remi Quique, with the goal of surfing hollow reef waves is where the Anakao is right at home.

The 28' width, narrowed nose and tail and optimal volume distribution allows for sharp turns in critical sections of the wave while maintaining board control.

The big design innovation is the new bottom contour and beveled rails which offer a thinner rail than a traditional stand up providing the rider a short board feel.

Carving and acceleration are amazing and vertical turns are easier to perform.

The 12'6 is the most common category of race board as it can be used in Battle of the Paddle

(BOP: Race in & out in the waves), in long distance on flat water, or downwind. The Race is the Pro Model 12'6" Ludovic Dulou, an accomplished waterman in the Basque region and widely recognized in the practice of ocean rowing endurance.

His experience makes him an excellent technical advisor for the Race.

We have jointly prepared a detailed list of specifications for this model: speed on flat water, upwind speed in choppy water, crosswind stability, surfing waves during downwind, easiness in changing direction rounding buoys and even surfing.

We paid special attention to all these criteria without sacrificing accessibility.

The sports lovers of beautiful objects will be immediately enchanted and the progression path is limitless.

Drop in waves on an outside reef usually inaccessible is also part of the philosophy of this board.

The 8'6" is the board for smaller riders under 70 kg or experienced riders who want a "short board feeling". With his 8'6" by 30.5" its volume remains reasonable, is versatile and will perform in all conditions.

Suitable for all types of waves, it offers great stability for its size, even in marginal conditions.

Fast, it can be radical even on less powerful beach break.

It will not be a second board, this will be your main board.

Its rather round outline allows for smooth turns and cut backs and keep your stance without the need to move too much on the board.

Fast and efficient during take-off, it maintains its speed for surfing the wave as long as possible.

Its moderate thickness allows to keep control in the surf and passing white water without difficulty.

The all new Mystic Code brings us innovation and technology never seen in kitesurfing before! Let me introduce the all new BOA Support Control....

Mystics new anotomical back support is now fully adjustable to completely change the characteristics of the harness depending on your riding style of the day. The 'Boa' ratchet system uses clever gearing attached to supportive cables throughout the back and sides of the harness which are controlled by turning the knob to the rear. Push in and turn clockwise to tighten, pull out and it loosens off once again. The system can completely change the harness from a fully flexible freeride to a tight fitting highly support wakestyle machine or anything in between!

The beauty of the Boa system is the ease of use even whilst on the water.

The Mystic Code is built on a similar outline and construction to the Mystic Warrior III offering unrivalled support and comfort.

With thermo molded interior and exterior foam offers a lighter and stronger approach without ever compromising durability.

-System Down System: Locks the spreaderbar down, giving you more control when performing your manoeuvres while also protecting your chest in any uncomfortable wipe outs.

-3D Anatomical Back Support: BOA System

-Flex Edge: For the most comfortable and body hugging edge
